Dwayne Johnson was on hand to hype Team USA up at the beginning of The Olympics. Yes, the games are going on in Tokyo and a lot of people are tuning into the spectacle. With everything else going on in the world, The Great One stepped to the mic for NBC to deliver an “electrifying” tribute to the people representing the United States in athletic contests. Before the athletes even hit the arena, there was the live pre-recorded message from the former WWE Champion talking about the sacrifices these individuals had to make to get to this point. The Opening Ceremony is nothing short of a massive spectacle, and this year delivered that in spite of all the other elements of these games that are off-kilter. With COVID-19 rising in Japan to the point of their government having to put a State of Emergency in place, all of the countries involved hope that their citizens can have a good time absorbing these masterful performances. This is the pinnacle of a lot of these athletes’ sporting careers.

It’s finally time to present: TEAM USA!@TheRock gets us HYPED by introducing @TeamUSA like only he can. #TokyoOlympics pic.twitter.com/gRHkn3ad1I
